Howdy fellas,

So I started going for a run every morning, often in a nearby park.

Needless to say that the cute fit girls I see are an astonishing majority, since no other men besides old guys are running there.

Tried to approach a few of them,

but when we are going to different directions (face to face) and I try to stop them by saying hello they either dont hear me(headphones), or act as if they didnt, and the next thing you know they hagve run away and I dont want to look like a fool who runs after a girl screaming to get her attetion.

The If she is behind me, I wont notice till late, or at all.

If I am coming up behind her, I feel like this is a bit off putting.

I have stopped girls on various occasions, when they are taking a break for example, but I have found no success.

They either excuse themselves saying they have a strict timing-distance-rest schedule they have to do and cant ruin it or whatever.


I am willing to grind a bit more on that, cause its a goldmine, with 80% girls everytime I go there, and most of the cute at least.


Any advice from your side?

If you want to approach single running girls, then go to the local runs. Fun runs, 5k's, Marathon Expos, Running store events, training groups, running clubs etc. Needless to say, you should be doing the runs as well....Meet them in a social situation.

Usually when a group gets together for a run, there is a introduction of sorts, hash out the route, go for a run, then either disperse at the finish or all go out and grab a drink after.

No self respecting woman is going to stop and chat with a strange guy while she is knocking out an 8:00 mile training run . Consider her to be on a date and the RUN is her date.
Doing a "street stop" while a woman is running is a good way to get a face full of pepper spray.

If you want to run with a woman and get to know her while running together that is fine. The principles of socialization apply here as they do everywhere else. But meet her, and introduce yourself before. I've finished races around the same time as women and met them later while grabbing a beer or food at the finish area, and introduced myself while talking about the course. Usually we were around the same pace and traded pleasantries along the way.

Only a couple of times have I had an experience with meeting a woman on a run. A couple were right after, and they approached me. Other times have been after doing some group runs with a group and getting to know the women and they got to know me as a runner, my pace, and we had some short conversations. It really is social circle game more than anything.

A side note story.....( an ego boost)

I passed a couple of female runners on a downhill stretch of rocky trail about a mile from the finish a couple weeks ago. I'd pulled ahead of my running partners , and they watched the whole thing. We finish the run and one of my partners said "You tripped that girl back there." I was incredulous. Then she continued...."Yeah she was checking out your ass, and didn't watch where her feet were and wiped out..." My other running partner corroborated the story and said the girl who fell admitted to checking me out when they stopped to help her up.

Just try 100 reps of each and see what works for you
